Mamelodi Sundowns newly signed forward Arthur Sales has revealed two Brazilian stars that he draws inspiration from.
The 22-year-old joined Masandawana from Belgian Club Lommel
SK, where he spent three seasons, scoring 18 goals and providing five assists in 50 games.
During his time at Lommel SK, Sales gained valuable experience through loan spells at Portuguese club Paços de Ferreira and Brazilian club EC Bahia. This exposure to both European and South American football leagues helped him develop his skills before joining the South African giants.
He says he looks up to his countrymen former FC Barcelona star Neymar and ex-Sevilla attacking midfielder Ganso.
ARTHUR SALES LOOKS UP TO NEYMAR AND GANSO
“I look up to players like Ganso and Neymar. Their skill, creativity and ability to influence games inspire me,”
“I strive to incorporate elements of their play into my own game, aiming to bring that flair and excitement to the pitch here at Sundowns.”
Sales expressed his excitement for being at Chloorkop and is eager to contribute to the club's continued success.
“I am happy to be here and ready to give my best on the field. Sundowns is a Club with a rich history and ambition. I am eager to contribute to the team's success. The supporters are amazing and I look forward to further connecting with them as we compete for titles.”
“I am grateful for the warm welcome I have received. Players like Denis Onyango, Lucas Ribeiro Costa, Marcelo Allende, and several others are just fantastic.
“They have made it easier for newcomers like me to settle in. I look forward to building strong relationships both on and off the pitch, as l believe that unity is key to our success.”
